Welcome back to ! The weekly highlight from a different unit around Shaw as our base leadership recognizes an outstanding Weasel Airman for their dedication to the mission! 💪🏆

This week’s Weasel of the Week recipient is Senior Airman Michael Eller!

🥾 March in Memoriam 🥾

Recently, came out to a ruck hosted by the 20th Civil Engineer Squadron Explosive Ordnance Disposal flight. Marchers were challenged to carry 40 pounds in their packs over the course of 10 kilometers to commemorate the sacrifices of Air Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal technicians who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice.

Even as time passes, our mission to honor the memory and preserve the legacy of those who paid the highest price for our freedom will never change. 🇺🇲
